Transportation - "New roads are not enough. This challenge requires us to “think outside the box” and look at both long-term and short-term solutions. It is time for more than talk and increased VDOT budgets."

Elections

2011

Armstrong is running for election to the District 9 seat of the Virginia State Senate. He was uncontested in the August 23 primary and will be opposed by incumbent Charles Poindexter in the November 8 general election.

2011 Redistricting

Due to redistricting, Armstrong's residence was switched from district 10 to district 16. The new district would bracket Armstrong against Republican incumbent Donald Merricks, a popular legislator whom Armstrong likes personally. In response to the change, Armstrong decided to move to Bassett, which lies within the newly drawn District 9 and against Republican incumbent Charles Poindexter. 40% of the newly drawn District 9 is composed of areas Armstrong previously represented in District 10.[4]
